The animals are right here, right in front of us. And how we treat these companions is a test.

There was a golden retriever who saved countless lives on September 11 by going back in to find people. His companion was in a wheelchair. He got him out and kept going back in to save others.

No animal has to suffer for me to live.

Of all the projects I've worked on, I've never worked with another director like Billy Friedkin. I think he's a genius.

We have a deep need to affiliate, to be around people, and no creature on earth spends as much of its life depending on others as we do

Its difficult to understand why people don't realize that pets are gifts to mankind

One of the reasons I don't have kids is because I think people would have been very unfair to them. Think of it. You're still asking me questions about The Exorcist.

Modeling was pretty difficult back then. I did not find the business something that I had an interest in. I wanted to be a veterinarian.

For me reading the book [The Exorcist], I had the same questions that everyone else had. How does she jump up and down off the bed? How does her head spin around? How does she throw up?

Turkeys are misunderstood. Once I adopted turkeys, I understood this large bird to be a great companion.

In real life, second chances are rare. I therefore advise you to take every single chance very seriously.

Observe, Remember, Compare.

Downloadable music is the biggest musical phenomenon since the Beatles, and the music industry is slow to come to grips with that.

I also know there are timeless waters, endless seas, and lots of people in this world whose names don't matter to anyone but themselves. I look up at the sky and I see you there.

Do what you really want to do. That's why God put you on this earth.

I am overjoyed that I do not need a heart transplant at this time.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if I won a helicopter in a crossword puzzle competition? There is not much hope though I am afraid, as they never give such practical prizes.

You're the only one who can make the difference. Whatever your dream is, go for it.

I'm having fun just being a musician as well as an artist at this point.

I want to take piano lessons, I want to study at university, I want to travel, I want to do other parts, make another movie.
